Rob Ayling writes: It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
OUR OWN HOME
To have personal spatial integrity as long
as is possible
even when threatened with "failure to
thrive"
And,when functions diminish to minimal
capacity
To have one's free will acknowledged and
acted upon
So "helpers"and "assistants"follow your
guidance
rather than dictating your conditions of
existence
As we decline in capacity,our life is still
our own
We need our own space in our own
home
unless and until we can no longer
survive
and to stay alive,we employ the aid of
those
whose desires are our own-to make a space
that is a home
Temporary /permanent-as long as we both
shall live...
